About Me
It all began when a supportive teacher asked me to give a speech for my graduating class.
I said yes but was really thinking... I'll choke, sweat &
probably stammer.
Instead... I wrote, memorized, and prepared.
When the moment finally came, I stepped out front.
The whole room went black. Or, so it seemed.
I could hear my voice, but I couldn't see a thing.
Regardless, I forged ahead. Before I knew it I was done.
I could see people were smiling, clapping, and somehow
I had made it through.
Someone had believed just a little bit more in me.
Because of that, my life has never been the same.
